About Baumbotics

A small 3D printing workshop in the North Okanagan, finishing every piece by hand.

The workshop

Several machines run in parallel here, which is what makes larger commissions and small production runs practical rather than theoretical — a piece that would tie up a single printer for a week can be broken up and finished in a fraction of that.

Printing is only half of it. Anything that leaves here as a display piece has been sanded, primed and painted by hand. That’s the slow part, and it’s the difference between something that looks printed and something that looks made.

Materials

PLA and PLA+ for display pieces and toys. PETG where a part needs to flex or take some heat. ABS and ASA when it has to live outdoors or handle real temperature. The right material depends on where the piece ends up, and that gets decided per job rather than by default.

Where it comes from

Baumbotics is based near Vernon, British Columbia, and sells in person at markets around the North Okanagan through the season. Local pickup is always free — and it means you get to see the piece before you take it.
